Thanks Bama. I sometimes question my own readings.

FC and CC are perfect. The calculator says to add 222 oz by weight of Calcium chloride seems high to me. Am I overly cautious?

Had to pump the pool down four times in the last 5 days. Between the afternoon storms and Isaac the chemicals are off. PH = 7.8 Goal 7.4 TA 70 Goal 100 CH 150 Goal 300 CYA 30 Goal 70 Salt 2900 Goal 3350 Put the figures into the calculator. Needs attention. Quick check, what is the order of...

He said it was "5". I told him that makes no sense. When I arrived at his house he had powered down the unit. When I turned it back on The thing started to run and is still running. According to him, when he powered on the unit after an idle time of two weeks, it sounded like it was powering up...

How about a concrete hole saw? They sell them at home depot. Maybe one of your friends has one.

I assume you are working wtih the Lumineux (LX-300). You need to place a switch i.e.(light switch) in series with the hot side of the xfmr. You will see on the xfmr that there are three hot terminals and one common/ground terminal. You will choose the correct terminal according to the...

Morning FC = 12. Added more bleach and brought it back up to 24. Will monitor it through out the day.

Schocking the pool FC curently at 26. Will leaqve the pump on all night and check in the morning. Thanks for the help. Will let you know what FC is in the morning.

Again using the pool calculator it recommends 415 oz to raise the FC to 20. Is this correct? :?:

I am having a problem with the loss of FC. I will bring up the Chlorine to 4.0 using bleach and the next day there is no FC at all in the pool. This just started about a month ago. Something is eating my FC. Water is clear. Since we have had a lot of rain over the past month, I have had to add...

Re: Does CYA get used up or disappear? definitive answer ple My two cents. I am loosing CYA due to the rain we have been having. I have had to pump down at least 8 inches of water from the pool over the past two months. I think the rain causes more of a drop than splashing.

Thanks to all I finally found a crack in it.
